THE BUZZ: Square-Enix has released a new trailer for Final Fantasy XIII-2, which introduces Mog, Serah’s Moogle companion.

“The Moogle, named Mog, accompanies Serah on the adventure and has several functions; each of which help give the player more variety and choice over their game experience. Mog transforms into Serah’s weapon during combat. The Mog Clock allows the player to pick up bonuses, or penalties during battle. Serah’s companion will also help players by finding lost artefacts, difficult to reach objects, and items hidden in time,” says the publisher.

EGM’s TAKE: Just a few more weeks before the eagerly awaited sequel is released, but will it live up to the hype this time?

An ability to go many hours without sleep and a quick wit make him ideal for his role as associate editor at EGMNOW.com. He often thinks back to the days when the very idea of this career seemed like nothing but an impossible dream. Follow him on Twitter @mattyjb89. Meet the rest of the crew.
